I have reasons to believe that some glitches may have been used in this run.
Where? I see nothing out of the ordinary
This is what it feels like to be newborn and listening people talk around you.
Wow, probably quite accurate. I don't remember, but it most definitely is highly likely that it might maybe be like this... sometimes, I think.
This must be what Time Compression looked like from the inside.
This run is like a fever dream
Terra apearing everywhere while the world collapses has very strong Rei Ayanami during End of Evangelion vibes.
You found the words, thank you
@@JunkyDruffy Bro did you just complain about someone spoiling a 25 year old movie? They didn't even really spoil anything.
Therapist: "Don't worry, blonde terra doesn't exist. It can't hurt you.
*Blonde Terra:*
I didn't understand a damn thing that just happened, but I loved every second of it.
Okay, I get that this is a run-of-the-mill back-in-time wrong door save corruption map warp triple-party protagonist duplication glitch. But why *is* Terra blonde now?
So the clone Terras know which one is Terra Prime
"She dyed it"
Looks like Terra with Edgar color palette.
Ironically it is her hair color in Dissidia.
@@JunkyDruffy Nope. The sprites as seen in the final game were drawn before Amano did his illustrations. Seafoam haired Terra is the only Terra that exists on the cartridge. What you're actually seeing is corrupted palette data.
I feel like you gotta be a math genus to be able to speedrun like this. I can't even begin to comprehend how people figure this stuff out and execute so seamlessly. Super fascinating.
Not really. If you can read simple data tables, then you can use arbitrary code execution. Perfecting the run still comes down to frame perfect execution in the end just like any other speedrun.
Holy shit. This was like a lesson in quantum physics.
oh of course, yes, this makes complete sense; all of it
Me watching any speedrun
Been playing this game on and off for 25 years, and I thought I knew all the glitches even if I haven’t done all of them. This was something else. Well done!
I saw 35:00 estimate and was like "oh wow they really optimized the sketch glitch route"
Only the first party member is properly initialized as ?????? - the speedrunner never triggers an event (like Naming character) to initialize another character. All values are 0, causing the &&&&&& names, Terra sprite, Blonde color palette, and not existing in combat. Fun Fact: ?????? isn't the same character as Terra, since there are only 12 party member slots (plus two guest slots - part of the reason Gogo and Umaro can't equip Espers and there are no other guest characters in the World of Ruin) that have to be shared between all characters such as the actual cast and, say, the ten moogles that help you out early on in the game. Most people that skip characters with different glitches wind up with a useless moogle named Kutan or something in their place later for that reason.
A haunted house later on has doors (actually NPCs that don't talk or move) opening and closing - this is done by cycling what NPCs are present every few seconds. Tricking the game into keeping this code active outside the house and even in other save files is critical, and also causes bugs like party members appearing in cutscenes. It's causing that "clunk" sound every few seconds. This allows things like leaving Arvis's house via the front door (invisible NPC blocks path) and getting Ragnarok from an NPC smith that shouldn't be there yet.
The defense north of Narshe is always there, it's just normally not possible to walk there yet. Leaving Arvis's house via front door lets you simply walk to the Defense of Narshe instead of being blocked at the front gates.
The speedrunner uses the Defense of Narsh "press Y to switch active party" as well as saving/loading to trick the game into moving a party member to the coordinates of another party member, BUT on the map they were on - letting them teleport on that map. There is a secret entrance in Figaro's Jail that leads to a cave in the World of Ruin which you are supposed to come out of waaaaaay later in the game - again, this is always there, just inaccessible.
There's a glitch involving the Tent that starts the Floating island cutscene - your guess why is as good as mine, but you are on the airship at the end of it, just in the World of Balance when you need to be in the World of Ruin.
Getting a game-over boots you to your last location you saved, but if you have the airship and didn't have it when you last saved it gets dumped at that spot. Some people play the whole game without saving to get the airship, die, and have it when they start the game.
The 6 minute gameover timer from the Defense of Narshe event is still running for most of the run, normally when it runs out you get a game over because they broke through your defenses. It boots you out of combat if you are in combat, but ending the final Kefka fight that way means it plays the ending cutscene before it can give you a game over, and the ending cutscene remains at "The End" rather than ever ending.
This is accurate but I believe the timer is from the Tzen house. There's no timer in Narshe, it's based on whether a soldier reaches Banon (and I think when it's offscreen the soldier movement is paused)
there is a little ff6 in your glitch....
I would call this the 'Too Many Terras' run, but you can never have too many Terras.
Terra Terra Terra Terra Terra Terra Terra Terra Terra Terra Terra ... Kefka KEFKA!
Terra Terra Terra Terra Terra Terra Terra Terra Terra Terra Terra ... Kefka KEFKA!
OHHHH It's Sabin! It's Sabin! Oh it's Sabin...
What in the childhood...
The sad thing for me is that I had a final fantasy game that I played as a kid, but I can't figure out which one it was. It was most likely 4, 5, or 6, because I remember the overworld having the weird sperical graphics that were frequent on the SNES. I also remember falling into a whirlpool that ended up being an underwater maze, and I also remember a sky castle/temple thing with bright blue knights and feathery creatures.
@@godlyvex5543 Very likely this one, going by that description. It was a victim of early FF renumbering, so you can find it as both FFIII and FFVI. IIRC, this is the only one to use Mode 7 scrolling for the overworld map.
@@godlyvex5543 if you played it actually on SNES then that eliminates 5. It wasn't released in the US. Only FF2(FFIV) and FF3(FFVI) were.
I fuckin loved this game as a kid
I knew that this game was broken to the core because of vanish+doom and the airship glitch but holy crap you decapitated this game
I cant believe even decades later people are discovering new stuff in this game.
This was an incredibly confusing run
If Link can beat Ganon in underwear by Bullet-time jump.
Terra beat Kefka by time-warp changing. She won the battle before it started.
Terra's Theme = every emotion at once.
This was the most mind blowing run of AGDQ
I haven't said, "WHAT THE SHIT!?" during a AGDQ video in a while. LMFAO
Oh jeez they really broke this game and made it absolute nonsense. There's like 12 layers of fuckery going on all at once. Good job
A thing of beauty
A work of art
In case anyone is curious about Terra’s blonde hair, Amano originally drew her with blonde hair, however when they got around to programming her, an executive declared she and Celes were too similar and requested they change it so players wouldn’t get them confused. They already programmed her as blonde, so they had to swap things around. Blonde Terra here is what they initially intended for her.
In this case, this isn't coded into the hard game, this is because the blonde Terra's are actually taking from Celes' pallet ( see armor colors for reference ). Sprites work weird. For example if you were to alter Edgar's hair to blue, Sabin and Celes' hair would also be blue.
The memory manipulation is probably a part of why this happens, it may also have something to do with Celes being furthest to the left of the party members on the snowfield map. Just before event initialization.
But if you have to make a 4+ hour save file to trigger the door glitch and then you have to save over it to do the other stuff, doesn’t that actually extend the length of this speed run? Or is there a way to do it without erasing that first save file?
The creation of the save file isn't considered part of the run, hence the "New Game+" moniker. Future runs can be done by highlighting any save that has the door timer active, so thankfully setting up for another run doesn't mean playing through the entire game up to that point again.
Ehhh I think it should count...4 and a half is still very respectable
I wonder what the game devs would think of runs like this... Would it blow their minds?
MrSuckeragi They wouldn’t care since SqEnix never shows any love for FF VI :(
@@nesspurr6931 T_T true that. Sidenote, theres a mobile APP Dissidia FF Opera Omnia, where thr FFVI gang are in the story and in full 3D, its a great game , turn based.
Because it was actually called squaresoft at the time of publishing ffvi?
@@nesspurr6931 It's represented in many games though???
@@nesspurr6931 its not like they dont love them imo, its just that more famous games of the series are getting remakes, a good example would be ffvii, hell even casual players know who cloud strife/tifa lockhart, not to mention sephiroth.(I started on ffvi when i was a kid, and before then i already knew who those guys were evem though im new to the series)
Its not only them who does this, most of the gaming industry do. Because remaking a game without meeting their sale quota would make them lose funds. although ffvi did get a port on steam and mobile, some old players mocked it for looking ridiculous(like locke looking like a drunkard with big belly sprite), also with this reason its hard to appeal to old games people love, they love a remake/remaster, but at the same time hate the changes.
Saw this pop up in my feed, I for sure thought it would be another full story run but boy was I surprised!
I just found this. I have 0 clue what going on. All I know is that I saw villages popping in and out of existing near the start with a *Thunk* Noise, so I think Terra broke spacetime.
A really interesting run.
As much as I love the full runs of this game, this was a great showcase of another aspect of the game's speedrun.
Just finished my first playthrough ever of FF6 and watching this run with my jaw just GLUED to the floor.
What in the mother of glitch just happened.
How did anyone discovery all this!?
Probably some one who asked themselves “wouldn’t it be neat if X happens?” and then scour the code to figure it out.
Yeah much more interested in how this was discovered than just watching them actually complete the run.
I honestly guesd by accident, someone played and had to reset after the house, started a new run, and this happend.
by looking into the game code.
By studying the game code and through trial and error. With all of these old cartridge games there are fixed variables that change with every action you take and speedrunners can manipulate these variables to eliminate RNG or break the game.
This made about as much sense and was about as much fun as CarlSagan42's 'This level sucks' moment.
23 min? how far this run has come...
You know that one non gamer friend who just doesn't get it when you try to explain the game mechanics to them? Now you know how they feel
This hurts my brain. How do they figure this stuff out?
"Now we're here to talk to former VGCW champion Sabin"
Holy fuck now there's a nostalgia blast from the past.
Yeah, the introduction is practically necessary to understand the run since that's where they set up the central glitch.
couch really isnt doing well at explaining the main glitches the whole run hinges on. ive been halfway between entertained and confused throughout this run
so this is the best example of going to another country and not knowing what is going on, the sad thing is, I understand all the words that were said, I just have no clue what they were talking about. I felt like a kid who should be in kindergarten and I just wanted into an astrophysics course
I think I have some clarification on the Blonde Terras. My theory... is that the blonde Terra's are actually taking from Celes' pallet ( see armor colors for reference ). The prior memory manipulation is probably a part of why this happens, it may also have something to do with Celes being furthest to the left of the party members on the snowfield map just before the event initialization. Sprites work weird in games. For example if you were to alter Edgar's hair to green, Sabin and Celes' hair would also be green. But someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Spent countless days playing this game. SUPER NINTENDO
Seems too short. What about the story about how these glitches were found? I don't know what I saw.
My hadcannon is that Terra is in a coma back at the start of the game and everything that happened was a dream that was manifested by her emotionsand her feeling alone in the world :P
I totally understand what they have said. Whatever that is. Really.
Very impressive breaking of such an iconic game, but I'm really confused about most of it. Anyone have a link or a quick explanation for dummies (ie old people like myself who played this game when it first came out)
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I wrote a bit more in my speedrun notes about how the glitches are utilized; that's probably your best bet. bombch.us/DGPK
Just finished this game for the first time the other day. Took me 35 hours XD
I can't believe this exists nor understand how it was discovered.
This is amazing, how do you even achieve this kind of knowledge?
23 hours and 7 minutes is a pretty good time, but maybe more than I'm looking to sit down and watch unless I really like the runner / commentator
I’m wondering if these guys could figure out a way to glitch general leo into a permanent character
Love this run, the amount of time it took just to figure out these save glitches must have took forever and alot of coding research and such. Would love to try this out one day
It's so interesting seeing the differences between this and the any% run. How did people even find these tricks?
Amazing! :D Truly, truly amazing!
They should make a legitimate game with that warping glitch as its central mechanic
Id like to see a game where you can only progress on a certain part if you used a 'glitch'
Oops, All Terra
okay, NOW i agree the main character is Terra
You guys just glitched the living shit out of my childhood >:l
Okay can somebody explain to me why the title screen says Final Fantasy 3 but the commentary and video title say Final Fantasy 6
a little bit late but VI was the third FF to be released originally in North America hence the title FFIII
TERRA for the win! 🎉
What manner of sorcery is this ?

There was a glitch I triggered when I was kid still have no idea how it happened. It’s been a while since it happened so memories a bit hazy... I think it was one of the final chasing ultros scenario where you have Relm with you and something happens to where you fall through pits in a cave or something? Well anyways the game crashed for some reason I went back to the same game file and I noticed I got 99x gem boxes and 99x economizers. Can anybody explain this glitch?
That sounds like the Relm Sketch bug. If you try to draw an enemy you can't draw, it will usually crash the game, cause some weird graphical glitches, and then give you tons of random items.
Mind blown
I own this game, but, have never played it. Should I move it up in the backlog?
You should move it into the front log! This game is one of the best.
demon chocobo is my new savior
What is happening.... This is so weird
Yes
wow..... I'm shocked. I feel like my entire childhood was a lie. what is going on here lol.
I'd love somebody to break this down properly in a video one day so that I can understand what the fuck just happened
Ff6 speed run the year prior: 7 hours.
This ff6 speed run: 23 minutes
I mean, that run was glitchless and also 100 percent lmao
I thought 7 hours is already fast
11 minutes world of ruin lol
How do they skip the early battles simply by hanging in a menu?
Just Terra
How did you get a save file with Mog in the world or ruin?
erm.. did ff3 bug?
This run is nothing but a JoJo reference
Was this a bonus game? Because I didn't see it on the schedule and missed it.
who figured this out?!!
How do people find these glitches?
final fantasy 3?
Damniel Omaygad It was the 3rd FF game outside of Japan so they labeled it as 3 for US, EU etc.
What about 3, it’s completely different then 6, or are you confused about this one being called 3, in the US the game was released as 3 because we didn’t get the original 2 the original 3 or the original 5 in the US, we did get the first game the fourth game and the sixth game, so that people wouldn’t get the confused with the skip they just called 4 the second game and 6 the third game, so if you see a cartridge for FF 3 for the American version of the SNES then it’s actually FF 6 and if you see a cartridge for 2 it’s actually 4, also sorry for the super long comment it’s just that it can be confusing
Nice
What on Terra did I just watch?!
It's impressive, yet I don't know why.
wat are donations 4
I am so confused.
Saw in my feed: 23 hours 6 minutes? That's easy.
MFW just realized it's 23 MINUTES!
This is basically just a Gau-skip with a couple more steps.
This is the best run ever.
WTF DID I JUST WATCH!
What the hell did I just watch?????????
WHAT?
Yo... wut.
Anyone care to tell me what the fuck is going on?
So Basically if you wanna be a Speed runner you need to be atleast know how to do some coding? Because this shit is nuts.
They destroyed ffVI D:
title screen of game is FF 3 title of video FFVI
It is FF VI, but in America the games didn't came in the order they were released. FFVI was the third FF released on America, that's why in the first American version it was called FF III (on post versions it was corrected).
Final Fantasy 6 was called Final Fantasy 3 in North America. Final Fantasy 4 was called Final Fantasy 2 here as well. We did not get the real FF2, FF3, or FF5 until much much later.
This has to do with the Final Fantasy games that were released in North America, compared to the actual release of the Final Fantasy Series. The original Final Fantasy was sent to NA, however 2, 3, and 5 were not, when they ended up sending 4 to NA, we would have only had the first game in the series, so going from Final Fantasy 1 to Final Fantasy 4 would not have made any sense (and the internet was not big at that time). So in NA Final Fantasy 4 became Final Fantasy 2.
To complicate things further, Final fantasy 5 was also not released in NA, so again we had the problem when 6 came out, they could not call it Final Fantasy 6, as so far, in NA only FF 1 & 2 (really 4) had been released, so they had to call it Final Fantasy 3. After this they finally got their act together and just started releasing their titles worldwide in the correct order, but during this time this probably caused even more confusion because if you played Final Fantasy 3, and Heard Final Fantasy 7 was coming to Playstation, you would have thought what the heck happened to 4, 5, and 6!
Lol, do you have no knowledge of this game
